Schrödinger's Cat
Does Schr?dinger's Cat Live? Twisted up in Schr?dinger's uncertainty thought experiment, this historical kitty has been put through a quantum ringer that nobody should have to experience. After all it's tough work being both alive and dead simultaneously. Every student of physics knows that Schr?dinger's 1935 paper regarding a hypothetical paradox involving a cat has perplexed and annoyed physics geeks for years. The basic idea; If the outcome of a circumstance is presently unknown and by observing the circumstance you will disrupt it, then it exists in all possible states simultaneously... Simple! At least to quantum physicists with massive craniums. And hey eventually this principle will seem commonplace, but by then our highways will connect galaxies and shirts like this will be so utterly obvious that they'll likely be dish rags. Don't get it? We propose the following thought experiment: Give your friend enough money to purchase the "Schr?dinger's Cat" shirt (don't forget the

Schrödinger’s cat is a thought experiment, often described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics being applied to everyday objects. The thought experiment presents a cat that might be alive or dead, depending on an earlier random event. In the course of developing this experiment, he coined the term Verschränkung (entanglement). geek, humour, maths, nerd, quantum physics, schrodinger, schrödingers cat, science, cool, fun, schrodingers cat, feline, cat, box, uncertainty principlemale, female - adult$36.81 -
Not so much featherweight as furryweight. So Schr?dinger's cat vs. Pavlov's dog. In a one vs. one fight who wins? Well, the first main difference is that Schr?dinger's cat was a hypothetical experiment (or was it?), while Pavlov's dog was real. The loyalty. Real. The drool. Real. The need for a mop. Real. Real as he might be, though, it's definitely not in the canine's favor that each round of a fight typically starts with a bell. Plus the feline, if it exists, comes equipped with a box, a radioactive isotope, and a hammer. You generally don't want to give a cat tools. It remembers the time Erwin tried to put that silly hat on it. Just to clarify, by "fight" here, we mean "chase each other around the house until someone is declared victor." We here at ThinkGeek are big fans of animals of all kinds, and we think the only type of animal fighting should be for the comfy spot on the couch.
